I-YO The Robot is an interactive animated storybook app consisting of fifteen stories and activity segments suitable for pre-schoolers. The stories can be enjoyed 'cartoon style' as animation while subtitles are available for selected languages to aid children in reading and listening.

The app features three different Singaporean families of Chinese, Malay, and Indian descent that can be selected as the main cast for the stories, along with I-YO. The stories can then be enjoyed in either English or the respective mother tongue of the selected family (Mandarin, Malay, Tamil).

Currently, subtitles are available for English, Chinese, and Malay. The subtitles are not intended to be direct translations from the English text and are meant to provide a more natural flow to the stories when read and listened to in one of the Mother Tongue languages.

With its beautifully drawn worlds, engaging characters, lively animation, and the precocious and bubbly title character who is always ready for an adventure, IYO-The Robot is a one-of-a-kind animated storybook that is sure to keep young readers coming back for more!

Features:

- Fifteen animated story chapters
- Activity segment at the end of each story for the reader to pick up on keywords introduced
- Choose to read and/or listen in English, Bahasa Malay, or Tamil.
- Three families of characters (Chinese, Malay, Indian) to accompany I-YO.
